GHI: Port Arthur Penitentiary
The Ghost Hunters International team really decided to go out of their way and ended up in Tasmania for this next investigation. The Port Arthur prison is about 200 years old and has the sort of sordid history you might expect from a prison with a little bit of history under its belt. The paranormal reports seem to include a little bit of everything, from shadows to scratches.

This show has gotten sooo ridiculous! First, all or most of their clients do not walk around their homes or places where they supposedly see the apparitions, black masses or poltergeist activity in complete darkness. Why in heck do theTAPS team shut all the lights off in order to catch anything paranormal. Most people themselves say they see these things happen while they are moving about in a normally lit fashion.
Secondly, why doesn't the GH investigators use some type of headset with a camera so that whatever they claim that they see is immediately caught and recorded. Going by their "credibility" is just not enough to convince any logical person. Come on, listening to Jason, Grant & the TAPS team talk about their personal experiences that no else sees but them is getting so pathetic.
The show spends more time having its viewers continually watch the team set everything up and then breaking it down. They explain over & over again about EVPs, EMFs & Thermal imaging what they mean and their side affects more than they need.
Lastly, why in the heck do they only spend one silly night at most of the sights. Hauntings are usually random. What makes them think that something that other people have experienced ( because they have spent long periods of time where the spirits/ghosts reside) is going to show up for the plumbers in just few short hours!! Please give your intelligent viewers a break!

Dustin says that the curtains moved just that one time, but will not even say if they suspect it was some sort of paranormal occurance.
Curious that the camera angle is slightly different then we are shown during the setup. When, by who and why was this adjusted?
Barry's supercam shot of the figure is the biggest flaw. The tree on the right is in different positions. Captureing both images, resizing one so the church is the same and overlaying them shows the church, tree on the left and patch of ground in the center lining up, but the tree on the right changes its position considerably.
Look at it's limbs reaching the church window in the shot with Casper, yet never getting near there in the recreation.
Barry changed something between shots … I call shenanigans.

It has come down to this for GH and GHI. I DVR the show and then watch the spokesman for whatever place they have gone to and then fast forward to the reveal.
The rest is just a boring surreal repetition of every other show. If you take out the set-up, the tear down, the same faces looking over the tapes, and the commercials, you have about 10 minutes of some differences.
If I ever miss a show, I know I'm not missing much at all.
But the crux of the whole thing is this, I don't believe a single thing they come up with or find. The Grant syndrome has ruined both shows for me. They have lost all credibility with me because I know now they are not looking for the truth. They are in it for the money only.

It's like watching paint dry, almost……..at least wet paint doesn't insult your intelligence.

Yep, same old same old routine with minor variation to the theme. Was the same last week, will be the same next week with no proof of anything yet again. Snore…..
If they would just make some PROGRESS in field research rather than "well done, on to the next" mentality I might be able to stay awake for a bit longer.
Oh well, back to sleep…
